  • Will this know still hold if you cut the tags off?

    

  • @titanium84 just leave the line on the spool and bring the spool through the loop then take off how ever much line you need off the spool when your done tying the knot

  • Great video. I was tired of using swivels with my spinning reel when I had to attach a leader. Now I use the surgeons knot which works great. No slipping knots!

  • Fantastic! The books I have make is seem much more difficult. Thanks

  • Titanium - leave the one side on the spool; allow a bigger loop and you can loop the spool through the bigger loop.

  • and what happens when u have like 200meters line in each direction? you have to put trough the loop like 400 meters of line...

  • macht er gut und verständlich

    cool

  • thank you for that public service. thumbs up =)

  • i like your videos. the only thing i would add if i were you is to let people know what % of the line strength the knots still hold

  • i have no thumbs and was able to follow this! thx sway!
